I knew it! Turkeys CAN fly!

@Namesake: Wild ones certainly can. As can chickens. Badly, as do most birds in the fowl family, but jusst about well enough to escape a careless predator. Whether domesticated ones are grown too fat to take flight, I don't know, but they do have the skill, potentially at least.

Domesticated turkeys certainly are grown too fat to fly; they are even too fat to f***. Turkey insemination is, with chick sexing (determining if a chick is male or female), one of the few duties in poultry farming that still has to be performed entirely by hand.
